I’m searching for the ideal operating system to breathe new life into my old Pentium D powered Dell 9100. I came across the below video about Joli OS 1.2.1 and was instantly sold.

I ventured over to the Joli OS website and discovered the OS had been discontinued. They offer a new cloud version that can run in your browser, but it really isn’t an OS any more. It combines access to all of your cloud accounts – useful, but not what I am looking for.

And if you ever decided to sell your video or broadcast it on TV, you’ll be able to. Stock music can cost anywhere between $1-$200 per track depending where you go, but, I’m sure you’re more interested in where to get it for free:
